Maybe? (My Yiddish is non-existent.)

It ends with the Malach haMavet (Angel of Death) verse, so I think that's a winner!

I can read Hebrew just fine, and I recognized that much, but wasn't quite sure. Glad it works.

Hi all, I just joined this group because of this post. There are a few different versions of the Yiddish Chad Gadyo. Historically speaking, the song "Shikt der har" predates the Aramaic version we sing today. I have a version recorded on my Yiddish Passover album which you can hear clips from here: http://www.cdbaby.com/lcahan If anyone wants to know more, please ask me. :)
